50(> HONOUR AND SERVICE. 



1875. degree his scientific connections were widened, and the resources 



Abundant and at his disposal increased. These gradually extended (quite 



varied help, independently of the already valuable business connections of 



Plough Court) to all countries and many institutes, from which 



gain to pharmacology was to be expected. Parcels were sent 



and reports received, as from St, Petersburg, so from Campinas 



in the province of San Paulo ; explanations poured in from 



Pekin and New York, from the Amazon, the Eed Sea, Singapore 



or Hindostan, and were examined, valued, and replied to. 



Mr. Hanbury's reputation in his own country was attested by 

 the confidence vouchsafed to him by the Pharmaceutical Society 

 and the British Pharmaceutical Conference. In 1868-69 he

In these great bodies he found abundant opportunity for

 Mr. Hanbury could also make useful to his objects, in the 

 most effectual manner the London Exhibition of 1862 and the 

 Paris one of 1867, as he was appointed adjudicator of prizes to 

 both. 



Admiralty He performed service of a similar nature in 1859 and 1871 to 

 the Admiralty Manual of Scientific Inquiry when, on the 

 first occasion in conjunction with Sir William Hooker, on the 

 second with Mr. Oliver, Professor of Botany, he turned his well 

 arranged knowledge to account in pointing out gaps in scientific 

 knowledge, the filling up of which the Admiralty wished to 

 urge. In more than one case he was permitted to live to see the 

 answers and missives from distant lands, relative to these 

 subjects, and to take part also in working at the tasks he had set. 

 The Continent also paid its tribute of esteem to Mr. Hanbury ; 

 in Germany this was through the " Leopoldinisch-Carolinische
